Laurent: ...

I love that Damen is starting to find Veretian sensibilities charming instead of annoying when they apply to Laurent. What a difference from book one 😂

[celdria]

Nikandros: Damen, can I please PLEASE have permission to fight Laurent?

Damen(externally): Denied.

Damen(internally): Nik, bro, you have no idea. He would literally fucking kill you.

Damen:

Is a brilliant military strategist and commander

Helped Laurent turn a bunch of mercenaries into a loyal army in a couple of weeks. As an Akielon slave, he convinced these people to follow his command

Figured out that they were walking into a rockslide based on the fact that the terrain was unsuitable for any other type of ambush, and saved everyone by knowing exactly how far off the road they’d have to go to be safe

Keeps calm in difficult situations and reasons out the best course of action

Won Laurent a Veretian fortress, which are notoriously difficult to conquer, using a strategy that accurately assessed the risks and benefits of splitting up their troops

Likes Akielon poetry. Is particularly into super long war epics

Speaks nearly flawless Veretian, among other languages

Was the one to figure out that Paschal had evidence of the Regent’s crimes, which not even Laurent managed to do

Can tell when Laurent needs to be left alone versus when he needs sense talked into him

Also Damen:

I speak your language better than you speak mine, sweetheart

Has the emotional intelligence of a pineapple

Doesn’t remember the names of the people he’s slept with

*gropes the Prince of Vere in the baths* *is shocked at there being consequences for this*

Loses all his brain cells in the presence of hot people

See that last point again

Torveld: *flirts with laurent* Damen: *frowns*

Tries to escape Arles. Is recaptured immediately

Tries to fight an entire Vaskian clan with his hands tied behind his back

Asks Laurent if he’s straight

*Sees his lover in less clothes than usual* *literally drops a pitcher*

Walks into the palace at Ios, his childhood home, using the code name Damen. Yes very stealthy. Definitely fooled those guards.

“Laurent is innocent because I love him so much. Listen to how much I love him. This is clearly an effective argument for a trial.”

Puts away his sword around Kastor. Stabby Kastor. Still-has-a-knife Kastor.

Insists that his life-threatening injuries are quote unquote “not that bad.”

Never listens to nik

Never listens to his doctors

In conclusion:

[celdria]

Ok is there one (1) person in the world who hasn't turned obsessed with lamen after reading the captive prince trilogy ?

[celdria]

The pinnacle of romance, aren't they

[celdria]

yuzuru + super slam titles 

[celdria]

Laurent you are as oblivious to his type as he is to your tastes

[celdria]

Day13: “I think if I gave you my heart, you would treat it tenderly”

Of course he would!!

Me @ anything that remotely resembles a tall brunette and a short blonde:
